book review 1

In this report I will be talking about one of my favorite series well the two books that are out at least which are Divergent and Insurgent. They are thrilling dystopian novels were a young girl Beatrice Prior and her brother Caleb must choose their fate at the age of sixteen.

One prevailing theme in the book is one person may be strong but a group is stronger. Beatrice is a strong character but when she becomes part of dauntless which is the defence faction the group becomes stronger. Beatrice herself becomes stronger to as an individual. The bonds between friends become stronger to.

The setting of the book is in Chicago after a huge war and half the city was destroyed. The setting caused transportation within the city to be a hassle so the citizens basically walked every where or took the buses. The roads where deteriorated because of lack of maintenance and the war. Buildings had fallen into the streets, and dozens of light poles lay across the streets.

While I was reading this series I kept thinking back to when I read the Hunger Games. Beatrice and Katniss are a lot alike Because they both live in a dystopian society. They both risk their lives to fight for what they think is right. Both series start out by giving background info on the characters.

I'm sad to say this ends this review of The Divergent series so far. I hope you will go and read this amazing series, and comment what you think.
